FAQs
What is the difference between the BD134 and BD-800 airbrushes?
The BD134 is a suction and gravity-fed airbrush suitable for broader applications, while the BD-800 is a dual-action, bottom-feed airbrush offering more precise control for detailed work and color mixing.
What is the purpose of the 3.0L air tank?
The air tank stores compressed air, providing a stable and consistent pressure supply. This reduces air pulsation, ensuring a smoother and more even spray pattern, especially during detailed work.
How do I set the correct air pressure?
The compressor has a regulator. Refer to the specific pressure requirements for the airbrush you are using (BD134 operates at 15-50 PSI, BD-800 at 20-40 PSI) and adjust the regulator accordingly. Always test on scrap material first.
Can this compressor be used for all airbrushing tasks?
This compressor is suitable for a wide range of applications including artwork, modeling, makeup, and cake decorating. However, its 3 Bar (approx. 43.5 PSI) maximum pressure might be limiting for some industrial or specialized high-pressure applications.
How often should I drain the air tank?
It is recommended to drain the air tank after each use or at least daily to remove condensation, which prevents rust and ensures optimal performance.
What maintenance do the airbrushes require?
Regular cleaning after each use is essential. Periodically, you may need to disassemble the airbrush to clean the nozzle and needle, and check for wear.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes the airbrush compressor with a 3.0L tank, two airbrushes (BD134 and BD-800), a braided hose, adjusting spanner, suction bottle, color cup, nozzle guard, and a plastic carrying case.
Troubleshooting
Compressor not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Airbrush not spraying
Ensure the airbrush is properly connected to the hose and that the air valve is open. Check if the nozzle and needle are clean and correctly assembled. Verify that the paint cup/bottle is filled and correctly positioned. Check air pressure settings.
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Clean the airbrush nozzle and needle thoroughly. Ensure paint is properly thinned. Check for air leaks in the hose connections. Adjust air pressure if too high or too low for the paint viscosity.
Compressor runs continuously and does not stop
Check for air leaks in the hose or airbrush connections. Ensure the airbrush trigger is not stuck open. The auto-stop function might be malfunctioning; consult the manual or contact support.
Water in the air tank
Regularly drain the air tank to remove accumulated moisture. This is normal and prevents corrosion and issues with paint delivery.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Versatile application range suitable for many creative hobbies and professional uses.
- Includes two different types of airbrushes to accommodate various techniques.
- Air tank ensures consistent air pressure for smoother application.
- Automatic pressure and stop functions add convenience and efficiency.
- Comes with all necessary accessories for immediate use.
Cons
- Single-cylinder compressor may produce more noise than multi-cylinder units.
- Requires understanding of different airbrush types (suction vs. gravity vs. bottom feed) for optimal use.
- Maximum pressure of 3 Bar might be limiting for very high-pressure demanding applications.
- Specific PSI ranges for each airbrush require users to adjust settings accordingly.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the braided hose to the compressor's air outlet and the chosen airbrush.
- Ensure the airbrush is securely attached to the hose.
- Plug the compressor into a power source.
- Turn on the compressor. It will build pressure and then stop automatically when ready.
- Adjust the air pressure on the compressor regulator to the desired setting for your airbrush (refer to airbrush specifications).
Compatibility:
- This compressor is designed to work with most standard airbrushes that use a 1/8" hose connection, including the included BD134 and BD-800 models.
- Suitable for a wide range of media including paints, inks, dyes, and lacquers, provided they are thinned to an appropriate consistency for airbrushing.
Care:
- Cleaning the Airbrushes: After each use, thoroughly clean both airbrushes according to their specific instructions. Flush with cleaner and water until the spray is clear. Disassemble and clean nozzles and needles periodically.
- Compressor Maintenance: Regularly drain any moisture from the air tank to prevent corrosion. Keep the compressor exterior clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of dust.
- Storage: Store the entire kit in the provided plastic case in a cool, dry place.
